I'm not sure, if this has been done here on the forum before. Anyway, I was thinking about this lately and though I'd share my idea with you, normally you may see small entries in the newspaper or on the net about what happened on this particular day, major events, deaths and births. On this thread, do the same but with your own pre-made TLs or maybe some original ideas, or maybe happenings from other peoples TLs. Be creative :)

Here's OTL, the one on Wikipedia was too massive to post on here, so here's the link
